Pretty much a lone voice here but I like this on Jen! I feel like she’s experimenting a bit here with something a bit edgier (the leather) and a different silhouette than her usual sheath but not straying too far outside her comfort zone by keeping it black. And she does look comfortable and in my opinion good too! I’m struggling to understand the not age appropriate comments – I mean it’s leather but it’s not that short, it’s not low cut and it doesn’t have cut outs. What’s inappropriate about it? Also struggling to see the too wide illusion. The silhouette of the dress looks good to me…I can’t see why she shouldn’t wear a fit and flare dress…the skirt doesn’t look that wide…I mean she’s never going to look supermodel height…okay just not getting the negativity. The bodice/neckline/bare shoulders look great on Jennifer. I mean if I can only look so “age inappropriate” in a dress like that when I’m the same age then I say bring it on.

Maybe it doesn’t photograph as well but watching it on tv, I’d say she was actually one of the best dressed. It’s fitted at the top and it’s short; having a flared skirt doesn’t make her look bigger, it just creates a balance with the other elements of the dress.

I don’t like this look, I don’t like her hair and indeed she looks wider than she really is. But on the other side, I do like this effortless kind of dress on this occasion. People’s Choice Award is not gown red carpet to me. And many actresses make that mistake.
